LOLOLOL You are so right about how little we know our parents. <br /><br />I made it a point after my dad passed to ask my aunts about him and their lives back in the day. Found out 2 of my aunts met their husbands in a bar! Could have knocked me over with a feather after that one!<br /><br />Scott really looks "in-shape" now. I'd love to lose 12-14lbs. Just the right amount for me. Holding the line at 190, but 20 yrs in the gym have given me a huge back and chest, so 175 is about my min healthy weight.<br /><br />Stephanie, like that could ever happen! >8< <br /><br />The gardener was Jacques, my neighbor in LA. He was about 70 at the time, and I took him to watch the matched sprints qualification races at the then-new Velodrome in Carson, built for the 1984 Olympics. Nelson Vails was a force to be reckoned with in those days.<br /><br />I think that was the best day he'd had in 10 yrs, although he was a great guy with a quick smile and twinkling eyes. <br /><br />His love of cycling went all the way back to the 6-day races on Coney Island. That and my very pretty wife brought him around for brunch like clock-work on Sundays thereafter. It was always a pleasure. (she had him wrapped around her little finger)<br /><br />I have a few pics of me/us and my bike in that era. I'll see if I can get them scanned.Grey Beardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02238917041257429804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048496041370417301.post-57347433959738288352010-08-19T07:31:31.968-07:002010-08-19T07:31:31.968-07:00And I already thought you don't like me any mo...And I already thought you don't like me any more;-)<br /><br />Yes, back blogging and loving' it!

You are the hammer-head and I am just a wonna-be.<br /><br />Second – like the new banner picture! I would argue that I am in the world’s best playground here. Still, what a blessing to have the freedom to enjoy the open roads like we do.<br /><br />Btw – Scott has lost around 12-14 lbs. Very proud of his hard work!Gotta Run.....https://www.blogger.com/profile/03647983887882662002noreply@blogger.com
